Document Type for Mail Merge

Topic

New Reply

Where is the document type (property) for Mail Merge physically stored? Is it embedded in the document? Can it be programmatically altered, say, from “Directory” to “Letters”?

Yes, it is stored in the document, just like styles etc.

Using VBA, you can change the merge type:

ActiveDocument.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdMailingLabels

As soon as you type the = in the Visual Basic Editor, a list of available values will pop up. You can also click in the word MainDocumentType and press F1 to get help.
